Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left - Chapter 1059
According to Magic Johnson, although the point difference is “only” 28 points, in fact, if the normal rhythm is followed, the Knicks are likely to be able to score a point difference of 40 or even 50 points or more.
“The Knicks played 12 people and 11 scored. Except for the unlucky Ewing, everyone else scored. Especially Anderson, who was on the bench for only 12 minutes, scored 12 points with 6 putbacks. The efficiency is very high. high.”
“And the former Super Six Crawford also scored 24 points, which is his new high in this year’s playoffs.”
“On the contrary, the Knicks’ starting stats are not so amazing because they played less time. For example, Zuo Li’s 23 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists and 6 blocks are just ordinary for him, while Curry’s 12 points and 12 assists are even more impressive. Reflects the ease of the Knicks.”
“They even only allowed Randolph, the main power forward, to play 14 minutes. It is unimaginable for this kind of thing to happen to other teams.”
As Johnson said, starting from the second quarter, the game was more like a group training. The Knicks kept rehearsing the lineup, and let everyone go up to feel the atmosphere of the home court by the way.
But it wasn’t disrespect, because the Knicks completely tore the Pacers’ defense apart.
After the game, Barkley made a very formal suggestion to the Pacers: “Although it is only a game, it is still an away game, but the core embodied is very deadly. The Knicks have adopted the smartest style of play. Their speed makes Hiber He was at a loss for what to do, and he stayed out of the game throughout the game. In 34 minutes, he only had 5 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block, but had as many as 7 turnovers and 5 fouls.”
“As we all know, Hibbert is the most important defensive player for the Pacers. He also plays a very important role on the offensive end. Paul George worked hard enough. 18 points and 7 rebounds are already good, but facing the Knicks, this is definitely not enough. .”
“How to deal with the running and bombing of the Knicks is the most important issue for the Pacers at present.”
The Pacers players are also very aware of this. After the game, they were also in a hurry. Vogel said in an interview: “This is a disastrous defeat. The Knicks are really strong enough. We still have a lot to do. Doing work, so sorry, I don’t think I can stay here for too long.”
And Paul George said: “For the first time, I realized the terrible strength of the Knicks. They destroyed us. I tried to do something, but I couldn’t do anything. It was too uncomfortable.”
“But we will not give up. This is just the first game. We will have our own countermeasures.”
Granger said: “A few years ago I knew that the Knicks were very strong, and today they are even stronger. If it weren’t for the shortened season, I believe they really have the opportunity to create a new record. The feeling of losing is very uncomfortable. But I think we’ll pick ourselves up.”
As for Hibbert…
Hei Youjian, who was beaten up, had already run away ahead of time, and now he just wanted to be quiet.
In comparison, the Knicks are naturally very happy. For them, this is an easy victory.
So in addition to discussing this game, they did not forget to create momentum for Zuo Li.
Curry: “What? You said the regular season mvp? Of course Zuo Li! Who else but him!”
Randolph: “Zuo Li, he is definitely the most valuable player, look at us now, do you have any questions?”
David Lee: “Zuo Li, needless to say, three years ago you said he couldn’t improve, look now, has he improved? We are making history every year.”
Kelai: “Boss, there is only him. He is too powerful. He is the strongest player I have ever seen. I don’t know who can beat him.”
…
Reporters: “…”
Having said so much, who asked you!
But it is also understandable, after all, the finale of the regular season of this season will be announced in two days.
Zuo Li, who has dominated the regular season mvp list this season, is naturally the biggest favorite, and Zuo Li leads the league in terms of team performance and personal data.
However, many media reporters still think that there may be an upset this time, because since Bird Bird won the regular season mvp for three consecutive years, no one in the league has been able to achieve this feat.
In fact, there are only three players in NBA history who have won the regular season mvp for three consecutive years.
The first is Lord of the Rings Russell. In the three seasons from 1961 to 1963, he won the mvp. In these three years, Russell is really the overlord of the league.
The second is his old opponent Chamberlain. In the three years from 1966 to 1968, Chamberlain won the MVP and was also the leader in rebounds. Chamberlain in the regular season of these three years was invincible.
The third place is Bird Bird. In the three years from 1984 to 1986, even with a strong opponent like Magician, the mvp was won by Bird. In the 1980s, he was the strongest small forward.
After so many years, no one has been able to do it again.
Of course, many people think that Jordan should do it, but the league has never favored Jordan in the selection of regular season mvp.
There is no doubt about this, because as long as he is partial, Jordan has more than five careers, and even five is considered bad enough for the league.
In the third season of his career, Jordan once created the best record so far. He averaged 40 minutes per game in 82 games, scored 37.1 points, 2.9 steals and 1.5 blocks. His performance was perfect. But in the end he was dragged down by the Bulls’ poor record and ranked second in the MVP selection, losing to the Magician who scored 23.9 points and 12.2 assists.
Okay, if there is some truth to this year, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, then the next one will be funny.
In the 1996-1997 season, Jordan lost to the “Postman” Malone in the MVP selection. He averaged 29.6 points per game and won the scoring title for the ninth time. The Bulls’ record reached 69 wins and ranked first in the league. 72 wins last season.
The team and personal data all had an advantage, but in the end they lost…
So sometimes the league’s award selection mechanism is really confusing.
When the data is good, you talk about the team record, and when the team record is good, you talk about personal data.
Anyway, this can be considered self-explanatory.
But what about this year?
Ma Long is good, but if you lose, you lose. You can’t just give Jordan no rewards because he is worse than himself last season!
It is also based on this point that whether Zuo Li, who has already had two consecutive MVPs, will become the focus for a period of time.
After all, according to Jordan’s standards, Zuo Li’s statistics did not make much progress, and the team’s record was the same.
It is also because of this that the Zuo Hei people feel that they have seen the hope of ending Zuo Li’s legend.
You must know that since Zuo Li started to win major awards in his second year, until now, the third year, Zuo Li has not let an mvp trophy go by.
People joked that it was the first season, being stimulated by being robbed of the regular season mvp by James and being robbed of the finals mvp by Kobe.
But in any case, it is a fact that Zuo Li is building a super dynasty.
Of course, if it wasn’t for Zuo Li this year, then the number of consecutive mvp wins would have come to an end.
This is exactly what the sunspots want to see.
However, it is a pity that Jordan’s opponents back then were Magician, Bird Bird, Barkley and Malone. Zuo Li this season has not yet had such a strong opponent.
